My SB-2000 has been terrific for the past 5 years; I'm not convinced they are "overpriced" as some have stated in the comments. However, my tastes have moved away from movies and toward music so I'll be looking at a servo controlled DIY sub in the future. Great video as always Kpaceguy!
Very nice video, love the honest and clever advises like you did. Cheers from France mate ! (if a french people understand you, you can be sure you speak crystal clear) Btw we don't have much choice here in my country (beside american brands, we have a lot of fancy & expensive european brands and not so much perfs, so i got myself 2 x pb-3000 which are really nice but i keep thinking about these monsters from Rythmik Audio (FV15HP) i once heard during a US travel which was my #1 dream sub, and then there is PSA or HSU like you said. Too bad these brands already gave up on invading europe ! If you haven't tested out the Rythmik Audio im refering too, please do ! the experience will make your life complete !
I have just received two SB-2000 Pros subs. I have only opened one of the boxes. I am disappointed with the thinness of the cabinet. Sounds very hollow and thin when I give it the knuckle test. I'm now thinking of exchanging for the SB-3000 which is a heavier double layer cabinet. Must check again with other companies as well. You are cute to watch! Thanks.
I'm upgrading my Sony 7.1 theater in a box sub to the SB2000 pro. I tend to do more music listening than movies, and wonder how this new sub will compare to the REL T7i? Reading the specs simply didn't clarify the musicality knowing REL leads in this category, but I'm sure the upgrade will be significant.
I honestly don’t think svs would be able to profit if they built a 18inch sub it would cost them too much and it would probably retail around $3500 and not many people would buy it since there are id companies that make great subs for cheaper
When I saw the specs I was a little underwhelmed to be honest but then I figured, svs wouldn't have done this if it was a noticeable upgrade to the 2000 series. That's just an assumption on my part obviously but with the pedigree svs has I would be very surprised if the new 2000 pro series doesn't offer very noticeable improvements over the previous series. One area I absolutely love is the app integration allowing users the same control over thier subs as that of their higher range subs. I personally like the fact that they offer subs to fill almost every category of the marker but I do agree with you that they should try to match the other companies in terms of sheer monster subs. The pb16 ultra is over built in my opinion but there's no denying that of all the other subs, the sheer look of the pb16 ultra puts it in a different category all together at least in terms of the looks and build alone. I absolutely love the subs from the other manufacturers as well, especially the monolith thx15 and the Jtr's that youthman is currently auditioning. As it stands, I don't have a big space and I'm more than happy with my dual pc2000's. They don't even break a sweat and offer tons of bass and definitely more than I need.
Can you tell me why did you choose PC2000 instead of PB2000, I am trying to decide which one to get and I wonder if the cloth that covered the cylinder get dusty easily, last thing I want to know if you are happy with PC2000 compare to other brand in the same price range, Thank you
@@MrBleujob I chose the PC 2000 because of space constraints and I also like the look of the cylinders. As far as the cloth is concerned, I haven't had any issues with the it getting dirty. As far as how they sound compared to the competition...I don't have the luxury of comparing various subs of comparable brands because I live in Barbados and our choices are limited, I had to import my subs and paid four times the US price for them. I chose the PC 2000 based on numerous reviews I've read regarding it and comparative subs from other brands. As for the performance..... I couldn't be happier with the performance, the extention in my room reaches down to 13hz at only 1.5 dB down from 20hz which is insane.
question is going ported 2000pro vs 3000 sealed. the 3000 ported is a bit bridge too far for my budget especially if I consider going duals in the future.
Excellent review. There's definitely better subs out there for the money. I like how to favor the Sb3000 over the pb2000pro for $200 extra. While that's a lot of money, I get the point you're making. Thank you for the review. Enjoyed it.
Cool thoughts. I use my old PB1000 as a mid bass woofer HSU style. With bookshelves my 1000 was great, but got muffled when I got my towers. Ended up with a more powerful sub from my same speaker manufacturer. SVS should go more specialty Maybe more Rythmic, PSA, really heavy hitter.
Hi buddy here in Greece pb2000 pro costs 1300 euro and the pb3000 1900 Euro you believe i have to take pb3000 for better sound and my living room is 17 square metres whats your opinion i heard also pb2000 pro dont have a very good mid base..
PB3000 is a monster especially if you live in an apartment. I also have the PC 2000 pro and I’m using them and comparing. Will send 1 back. As of now, the PB3000 might be to much for my apt. It shakes the entire walls lol. The PC seems to do the same but a little bit more controlled. I might just buy the pb2000 pro and just be done with it. I like the PC but don’t like staring at a trash can I’m my space lol
@kuriakos36 I have the pb2000 pro for 10 months or so. Initially I had this impression. Just turn up the gain. Sounds great. You need to really overdo it in order to sound boomy. Room corrections eg. Audyssey in my case, tend to turn it down. After the room correction turn it up. I have it at -12 dB gain and -9db on the avr's subwoofer trim.
@kuriakos36 it is very good. I hear d both and can't be distinguished really. Both similarl deep sound and comparable "explosiveness". 😊Both excellent buy. I want to go with dual so it gets expensive that's why I got the first 2000pro and hopefully soon the second will follow
Svs is a business (like any other business) that is trying to maximize revenue. Sometimes being the “best” isn’t always profitable (ask Oppo) they are trying to skate the balance of offering products that will appeal to audiophiles with a price point that the general public can afford/justify the cost. For their price point , they are the “best” subwoofer you can buy.
My big issue is the fact that they are raising the price of the subwoofer that is already expensive and making it more expensive. I love the fact that it is a very large redesign, but you can’t just keep raising that price!. That’s what all the companies are basically doing and it is not a good trend at all.
Svs pro will dig deeper so its louder in those lower notes. You also get the app to boost and controller your subwoofer on the svs that the monolith doesn't have. There's just more power in the svs in general
Kpaceguy because I’ve seen videos where they compare the monolioth 12 inch sub to the svs pb 3000 and Im guessing the svs pb 3000 is louder than the 2000 pro
I ordered a SB-2000 but haven't open the box yet, after watching your video I decided to exchange it for the SB-3000 as you said, the price gap was so little, I don't know if I'll hear the difference but at least I won't ask myself "maybe the 300 would have sounde better"
I'm struggling right with a decision between dual SVS SB 3000 or Rythmik F12's. I know for you Kpaceguy you're a ported sub guy, but for me sealed just fits my needs. Smallish space, music first, and really want to eliminate as much bass bloat as possible. Anyhow, SVS is really about impressive spec sheets. MUCH higher power, low extension, and to their credit plenty of frequency graphs. Rythmik on the other hand seems to be more about the servo technology and pushing their superior integration with speakers, analog PEQ filters, and marketing to the "audiophile community". SVS is a fairly local company to me and I want to support them, but I'm not convinced the biggest numbers are necessarily the best subs for me. I personally would love to see SVS do a servo design subwoofer, or passive radiators, or dual driver sealed box, or anything that would would bring some differences to their lineup. It's like small, medium, large or extra large ; sealed or ported. What's your input for my situation @kpaceguy ? 2G's is a lot of cash to me and I expect these subs to satisfy me for at least a decade!
@@waymonfrench2077 Just purch two SB 3000 last week and I'm very satisfied with svs as a company as well as with the products. Unless you have an extremely large room the pb 2000 are probably enough. With duals, most definitely enough!
I have a small room so the sealed version of any subwoofer would be better for me and that was my argument to SVS themselves why not spend the extra $200 for the 3000 series over the new 2000 pro they told me the new 2000 pro with six DB louder than a SB 1000 and the 3000 is 9 to 10 DB louder once again I agree with another $200 at that point
No man the PB 2000 is to small for me .. I have the PB 4000 and that' s a great sub . A monster , a blow your Windows out , and a very great looking sub.. And what's happening in the world of audio is that every company is trying to push SVS aside. They noticed that SVS is becoming a great company and that people like there subs . So other companies try to make big sub with this and that .. And it's great to have competition but it will stay " somebody's own preference". I mean friends of mine they love the way the PB 4000 sounds and all, but they never will buy it . It's to big and to powerfull. But I love it .. Great video like always And btw I've subscribed a long time ago ....
If I can get your opinion on something please, that'd be great. I'm moving from my parents soon, and am getting a rural single story house. I want to put my home theater in my bedroom, and am getting a Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2 system, because it's the only small system I've seen, that has Atmos built into the satellites, and it's not very expensive (relatively speaking). The problem is that the subwoofer that comes with it, only has 200w, and doesn't even break past 20hz, so I started debating getting either 2x SB 2000 Pro's, or a 2x SB3000's. I'm worried that they might overpower the Focal Satellites.
Thanks for the Video, I have very limited space and was thinking of getting the SB 3000, than the Pro SB 2000 came out and I thought that’s even better but after listening to you I’m now thinking of going back to the SB 3000 because of the higher performance for $200 more, decisions decisions...
I think I found the reason why people aren't subscribing, you have to upgrade your camera. The in and out of focus makes me want to skip... SVS is best bang for your buck.
... is hard to decide !!?? I'm looking at PB2000 Pro and Sb3000, Last I decide to get SB3000 .... as advised by local Svs dealer 😅😅😁 .. I like the compact size of 3000
I returned the SB3000 and have a PB2000 Pro on the way. I didn't think the PB3000 was worth it for my room size. The PB2000 Pro is cheaper than the SB3000 and actually has more output in the 20-30hz range because it's ported. Some people like the sealed sound better, but you can always plug the ports if you feel like it.
@@TH-lo8mq ... I just received the SB3000 .. hook it up with my system and recalibrate the all speaker .. running 7.1.4 .. man this sub is a kick-ass sub ! The output is insane , the Low deep frequency is so smooth and steady 😮😲. I play my favorite movie such as Aquaman , Godzilla .. John wick .. I would say the bass is clean and * Fast *....
@@TH-lo8mq t h my friend did you receive your pb2000 pro if so plz let me in on the sound of it I cant decide if I want these or the 3000 you have dual pb2000 pro
@@waymonfrench2077 Yes sir. The bass is so deep and clean. I actually have a PB3000 on the way too haha. I should have just ordered the PB3000 first, but I was concerned about size and price. The response curves look similar, the 3000 just having more output of course. I'm not disappointed with the 2000 Pro at all, but I want to hear the PB3000 to be certain. My room is a bit open concept, so getting the response I'm looking for is a bit tricky.
I have been an adent supporter of the channel and i fully understand the need to monitize your channel, but 4 adverts in a 12min video is abit much. Just my 2 cents
Some of them is automatically added by youtube. I only add 2 based on average view time. Usually 4 to 5 minutes. Most people don't make it farther than that to even see the other adds if that makes sense
The pb3000 series is absolutely overrated and overpriced and that's first hand experience in my room the monolith 15 crushes it and it's very clean and explosive and 100 dollars cheaper the Hsu-vtf15h mk2 is lower wattage than the pb3000 but a bigger driver and and a bigger box aslo much cheaper and still performs right there with the pb3000 and its give and take on witch of those two subs do better in different situations dont get me wrong svs is incredible and bar none the best customer service and piece of mind with there warranty and there marketing is far better than the other brands but they are definitely not the end all be all
Hey man my room is 17 square metres 5M Length *3.30 width and i want buy dual subs im thinking between pb2000 pro and Pb3000 and the difference between them is 600 euro you believe to go for example from pb2000 pro disserves to give 600 euro more for pb3000??? And of course combining and my space🙏🙏🙏 please help me a little 😁💓🙏
@@Kpaceguy hmm thank you Buddy and one last question please what else subwoofer is cheaper from pb3000 but maybe same or better quality that you know can you give me some examples please thank you again because im searching like crazy and i dont know what's good or not ...!🙏
I like your videos and respect your opinions, but I am a bit confuse of your thoughts? IF the 2000 pros are close to performance with the 3000, why would I pay more for the 3000, when I could save the extra money and put that towards something else? Also that monolith dual 15 as cool and great that it is, it is also a niche market the majority of people will not have space or the funds to purchase that beast of a sub. I am sure that SVS or any company could come out with a huge, wild awesome sub, but it would probably cost more than your average consumer would be willing to spend, therefore your profit margin on that item is very small. The Sb2000 for SVs was their top-selling subwoofer out of the rest of their subs because of the price point. They offer their other lines to meet the larger rooms and larger budget consumers. There many reasons to choose a particular brand over another, Price, performance, looks, warranties, customer service. You are absolutely right when we have different brands it benefits us the consumers, choice is great!!! , But in reality, what brand makes the perfect or best subwoofer, each comes with its + and - it's up to us to decide which subwoofer works for us. Oh off-topic, I think your auto-focus was going crazy in this video
The power difference between the 2000 pro and 3000 series is a big jump from one peak power to another. The sb2000 was their most popular subwoofer ever so going off the past the sb2000 pro should sell just as well BUT you can spend 200 more dollars and get a sb3000 and gain 1000 watts of power. I don't see why someone wouldn't do that. So it puts the 2000 pro in a weird spot. You get a big bump in performance AND a BIGGER driver. So more output and better performance in larger rooms. For not much more money. It's too close to the 3000 series in capabilities. It can't do it at the same output level or room size as a 3000 can but it's more capable than the 1000 series. So it's a weird spot. So the video was just saying I wish the 2000 pro series didn't exist lol. I think it's time for them to try and bring us something we haven't seen from svs.
@@Kpaceguy Yeah I see your point, but I think they wanted all of their subs to work with their app, and they couldn't do that with software. I agree if you were just getting 1 sub to get the 3000, but getting 2 is an extra $300, it might not seem like a lot but everybody got a budget(unfortunately, lol) I guess my point is for some people the bigger driver is not needed in their space and paying more is not worth it, I would rather spend that money on going to separates or getting a better receiver. In Svs mind, they probably just dont know if it is worth it to get that wow factor and get dual 18-inch woofers or something like that to have that wow factor as I said before its such a niche market and the profit margin would be too low to justify. Anyway tick for tack, they should have just gotten rid of the 1000 and 2000 line and just offer the new 2000pro and up, I just wish they would have kept that metal grill, or at least gave you an option to get the metal grill but I do appreciate your opinion and video keep up the great work!! It is nice to have an intelligent discussion without the fanboy mentality
Not sure what you're basing your reviews on but, I just bought the 2000 pro and wow. You most likely don't know how to adjust your equipment. I'll be buying another for my down stairs theater. I have 2 high end 15's upstairs in my main theater not svs and very expensive. Tuned correctly they all sound amazing.
@@benweston7317 I don't understand at all why you're coming at me. None of the statements you're making I've ever claimed or said to be. I literally said 59 times in this very video that it's my opinion. I also said the 3000 series is better than the 2000 pro series for not much more money. I never said the pro series was bad at any point. So please tell me why you're aggressive in the comment section lol
Yes the 3000 series is dominant. Sorry, not trying to be a D. I own 2 pb2000's and they knock pictures of my wall. I own 2 powersoundaudio xv15's and they do the same. I have a sunfire truesub and that thing is ridiculous. I also have a 2000 pro and a b&w asw3000 in the mix. For the price point the 2000 pro is a stunner. No comparison to the 3000 or 4000 but, an affordable butt kicker
@@benweston7317 yes for sure I just think for a little extra money you get a big step up for the 3000 series and that maybe it's time for svs to attempt to put their foot on the necks of other high end subs
SVS has always been over rated and over priced. I went the cheaper route without giving up quality with "HSU research" subwoofers. Best bang for the buck high end subwoofers.
SVS has to pay for that excellent customer service somehow. Also HSU makes you pay for shipping and return shipping if you don’t like your trial. SVS is gonna take care of you if your investment breaks , HSU... who knows? I heard some bad stories about people being treated poorly from them
Checkout Audioholic review on the SVS 3000 series. The 2000 Pro doesn't even compare to the 3000s series. 3000s have the performance of a 15in driver for the cost and size. Based on testing the 3000s perform like the 4000s within the 30-40Hz range, but 4000s wins below 18Hz and who really listens that loud? Not to mention the 3000s have 14in driver coming in at 13 7/8 with rounding it's 14in. SVS rounded down for some odd reason 🤷♂️. If people are looking at the 2000 Pro just spend few more bucks on the 3000s. With that being said do not bypass the 3000s, because it has middle child syndrome. Information: www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-reviews/svs-3000
I gave up at the point where you started throwing around figures and then said, don't quote me on these....if you're going to do a review then what's the point if you don't have the facts to hand? Get a better camera too, started to make me feel queasy after a while watching the slow autofocus going in and out.
You're right.. maybe better on earbuds. (I still fumble around how to easily get better audio straight inside my camera without extensive post-prod remix etc.)
Reading the comments it's shocking how the majority are ignorant to the amount of quality ID subwoofers available on the market today. Performance/Quality per Dollar SVS ranks dead LAST in the ID Subwoofer world.
@@Kpaceguy As much as I hate to say it.. invest in the lighting or the camera upgrade. It was honestly hard to watch messing with your eye's constantly was giving me a headache. Ended up minimizing the window and just listened instead.
@@Kpaceguy figures don't lie especially knowing SVS. If the pro serie was that spectacular they would have exposed comparative numbers to show the improvement. I was very disappointed to see just beautiful sentences about even deeper lows and better max spl. It s like car audio subwoofer. 99% of the brands sell dreams where for example NONE of the powered car subwoofers can go under 30hz... Often the problem of people testing is that they use old school music which was not as rich in deep subbass. And they don't measure neither so it sucks.
Define better? Sound and bass is a very personal taste. Is somebody's truck inferior to anothers super car because its not as fast? Or is the super car inferior because it can't go off road? People buy for diffrent reasons and purposes, room size, bass extension, tight bass ect. Sound is subjective, if someone likes the svs subs over other brands, because they like the output, sound characteristics and is of the size they want, they are not buying an inferior product are they. The inferior product to them would be the sub they didn't like as much. They have bought the best of what matters to them. I went with svs from listening for myself comparing to other brands and finding one that would fit in my living room. Not because next man says buy this because its better and only 200 more! Pointless video, saying one sub is better than another in the same price bracket is basically saying gloss Black is better than black Ash! That's your opinion, not a fact.
Well uhh in this context saying one sub is better than the other is true because it's the next lvl up lol. What wouldn't make it better is if it's too big for your room. We're talking broad/general terms here. I don't know what room you have
So if i had both of them sitting here in my living room, what benefit would you have gained through this CZcams video listening to it on your speakers?
yes i subscribe but this is the worst video you have ever produced. People subscribe because they want to hear the review, your opintion, that how your subscriber base increases. They don t necessarily want to hear your intrepation of great music which is too too loud. They go to other channels to hear the music or sound they want to hear. The other thing wrong here was the camera was constantly trying to focus and refocus. Otherwise i have a svs pb 3000 and was thinking of going cheap for my second sub . changed my mind
biggest difference for me between 2000 and 3000 is the pc2000.. there’s no pc3000 and that’s the absolute only reason i can have 2 pc2000 subs vs even 1 pb3000’s. i think that’s the 2000 series holy grail! and no the sb2000 or sb3000 is of no interest to me, not a fan of sealed for HT edit: also is a $450 difference! not $200 but i still see where ur going with “not a big price difference”
Turn off auto focus
In 2022, the prices are very different. 3000 series is now $600 more. So buying the 2000 series makes more sense.
I completely agree, I would love to see SVS make a flag ship sub that competes with PSA or JTR. I could not afford it at this point, but I’m sure it will be a big seller.
Thanks for your view point !

How does a sealed powered sub dissipate heat from the amp? I do not see any external fins and that kind of power has got to generate heat.
External Heat sinks are more and more a thing of the past. They're usually built inside on the amps board

Audyssey in my case, tend to turn it down. After the room correction turn it up. I have it at -12 dB gain and -9db on the avr's subwoofer trim.
@@HarryM2022 i took monolith 15 buddy😊 you think its bêtter from pb3000?
@kuriakos36 it is very good. I hear d both and can't be distinguished really. Both similarl deep sound and comparable "explosiveness". 😊Both excellent buy. I want to go with dual so it gets expensive that's why I got the first 2000pro and hopefully soon the second will follow
Have you reviewed the SVS PB2000 Pro in your system ?
Not in my own home no
Wish one is better between PB-2000 pro ported vs SB 3000? prices are very similar!!
2000 gives more output on those low frequencies and fills a bigger room while still remaining really tight
Svs is a business (like any other business) that is trying to maximize revenue. Sometimes being the “best” isn’t always profitable (ask Oppo) they are trying to skate the balance of offering products that will appeal to audiophiles with a price point that the general public can afford/justify the cost. For their price point , they are the “best” subwoofer you can buy.
My big issue is the fact that they are raising the price of the subwoofer that is already expensive and making it more expensive. I love the fact that it is a very large redesign, but you can’t just keep raising that price!. That’s what all the companies are basically doing and it is not a good trend at all.
Agree 100%. For the minor perfomance boost the 2000 Pro isn't worth 799-899 price tag.
Hi there
Do I need a amplifier to get it run to new subwoofer (Svs PB pro. 2000)
I have only TV and RCA cable s
Best regards
You need a receiver to send the signal to your subwoofer. The subwoofer comes with its own amplifier
All you have to do is plug it into your AVR
What is your opinion on Klipsch spl-150 in comparison to svs compatible subwoofer.
I don't think there is currently a klipsch subwoofer that is better than an svs subwoofer. Other than a palladium or something high dollar
Thank you for your opinion.
They need to produce a dual driver sub to keep up with the competition. The 2000 series would sell anyway
Monolioth 12 inch thx certified subwoofer or svs pb 2000 pro? Which one is louder ?
Svs pro will dig deeper so its louder in those lower notes. You also get the app to boost and controller your subwoofer on the svs that the monolith doesn't have. There's just more power in the svs in general
Kpaceguy so the svs pb 2000 pro can shake things in my wall?
Kpaceguy because I’ve seen videos where they compare the monolioth 12 inch sub to the svs pb 3000 and Im guessing the svs pb 3000 is louder than the 2000 pro

I ordered a SB-2000 but haven't open the box yet, after watching your video I decided to exchange it for the SB-3000 as you said, the price gap was so little, I don't know if I'll hear the difference but at least I won't ask myself "maybe the 300 would have sounde better"
Exactly plus the app!
The sb-2000 to the sb-3000 is a huge jump in output. However, the pb-2000 pro will have more output under 40hz than the sb-3000

It is time for an 18 inch driver also offer steel and mesh grills, with gloss, black ash and matte black finishes.
I'm struggling right with a decision between dual SVS SB 3000 or Rythmik F12's. I know for you Kpaceguy you're a ported sub guy, but for me sealed just fits my needs. Smallish space, music first, and really want to eliminate as much bass bloat as possible. Anyhow, SVS is really about impressive spec sheets. MUCH higher power, low extension, and to their credit plenty of frequency graphs. Rythmik on the other hand seems to be more about the servo technology and pushing their superior integration with speakers, analog PEQ filters, and marketing to the "audiophile community". SVS is a fairly local company to me and I want to support them, but I'm not convinced the biggest numbers are necessarily the best subs for me. I personally would love to see SVS do a servo design subwoofer, or passive radiators, or dual driver sealed box, or anything that would would bring some differences to their lineup. It's like small, medium, large or extra large ; sealed or ported. What's your input for my situation @kpaceguy ? 2G's is a lot of cash to me and I expect these subs to satisfy me for at least a decade!
I probably go rythmik in your circumstance. But I'd have to really look at it to give you a real answer
You,I'm struggling between the new pb2000 pro or the pb3000
@@waymonfrench2077 Just purch two SB 3000 last week and I'm very satisfied with svs as a company as well as with the products. Unless you have an extremely large room the pb 2000 are probably enough. With duals, most definitely enough!
I have a small room so the sealed version of any subwoofer would be better for me and that was my argument to SVS themselves why not spend the extra $200 for the 3000 series over the new 2000 pro they told me the new 2000 pro with six DB louder than a SB 1000 and the 3000 is 9 to 10 DB louder once again I agree with another $200 at that point
No man the PB 2000 is to small for me .. I have the PB 4000 and that' s a great sub . A monster , a blow your Windows out , and a very great looking sub..
And what's happening in the world of audio is that every company is trying to push SVS aside.
They noticed that SVS is becoming a great company and that people like there subs .
So other companies try to make big sub with this and that ..
And it's great to have competition but it will stay " somebody's own preference".
I mean friends of mine they love the way the PB 4000 sounds and all, but they never will buy it .
It's to big and to powerfull.
But I love it ..
Great video like always
And btw I've subscribed a long time ago ....
If I can get your opinion on something please, that'd be great. I'm moving from my parents soon, and am getting a rural single story house. I want to put my home theater in my bedroom, and am getting a Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2 system, because it's the only small system I've seen, that has Atmos built into the satellites, and it's not very expensive (relatively speaking).
The problem is that the subwoofer that comes with it, only has 200w, and doesn't even break past 20hz, so I started debating getting either 2x SB 2000 Pro's, or a 2x SB3000's. I'm worried that they might overpower the Focal Satellites.
They won't over power the speakers, it'll overpower the room. Go for the 2000s
@@Kpaceguy Noted, I forgot to mention, it'll be a medium sized bedroom. Would 3000 be fine for that, or would you still say 2000?

I think I found the reason why people aren't subscribing, you have to upgrade your camera. The in and out of focus makes me want to skip...
SVS is best bang for your buck.
It was because of the low light. First camera issue I've had. I get 100 subs per week
svs needs an 18 inch sub, with auto eq, 2000 watts rms and under 2500 dollars.
... is hard to decide !!??
I'm looking at PB2000 Pro and Sb3000,
Last I decide to get SB3000 .... as advised by local Svs dealer 😅😅😁 .. I like the compact size of 3000
I returned the SB3000 and have a PB2000 Pro on the way. I didn't think the PB3000 was worth it for my room size. The PB2000 Pro is cheaper than the SB3000 and actually has more output in the 20-30hz range because it's ported. Some people like the sealed sound better, but you can always plug the ports if you feel like it.

PB 4000 does give you that wow factor
For sure
I have been an adent supporter of the channel and i fully understand the need to monitize your channel, but 4 adverts in a 12min video is abit much. Just my 2 cents
Some of them is automatically added by youtube. I only add 2 based on average view time. Usually 4 to 5 minutes. Most people don't make it farther than that to even see the other adds if that makes sense
get.an.ad. please do . it will make life easy.
The pb3000 series is absolutely overrated and overpriced and that's first hand experience in my room the monolith 15 crushes it and it's very clean and explosive and 100 dollars cheaper the Hsu-vtf15h mk2 is lower wattage than the pb3000 but a bigger driver and and a bigger box aslo much cheaper and still performs right there with the pb3000 and its give and take on witch of those two subs do better in different situations dont get me wrong svs is incredible and bar none the best customer service and piece of mind with there warranty and there marketing is far better than the other brands but they are definitely not the end all be all

I like your videos and respect your opinions, but I am a bit confuse of your thoughts? IF the 2000 pros are close to performance with the 3000, why would I pay more for the 3000, when I could save the extra money and put that towards something else? Also that monolith dual 15 as cool and great that it is, it is also a niche market the majority of people will not have space or the funds to purchase that beast of a sub. I am sure that SVS or any company could come out with a huge, wild awesome sub, but it would probably cost more than your average consumer would be willing to spend, therefore your profit margin on that item is very small. The Sb2000 for SVs was their top-selling subwoofer out of the rest of their subs because of the price point. They offer their other lines to meet the larger rooms and larger budget consumers. There many reasons to choose a particular brand over another, Price, performance, looks, warranties, customer service. You are absolutely right when we have different brands it benefits us the consumers, choice is great!!! , But in reality, what brand makes the perfect or best subwoofer, each comes with its + and - it's up to us to decide which subwoofer works for us. Oh off-topic, I think your auto-focus was going crazy in this video
The power difference between the 2000 pro and 3000 series is a big jump from one peak power to another. The sb2000 was their most popular subwoofer ever so going off the past the sb2000 pro should sell just as well BUT you can spend 200 more dollars and get a sb3000 and gain 1000 watts of power. I don't see why someone wouldn't do that. So it puts the 2000 pro in a weird spot. You get a big bump in performance AND a BIGGER driver. So more output and better performance in larger rooms. For not much more money. It's too close to the 3000 series in capabilities. It can't do it at the same output level or room size as a 3000 can but it's more capable than the 1000 series. So it's a weird spot. So the video was just saying I wish the 2000 pro series didn't exist lol. I think it's time for them to try and bring us something we haven't seen from svs.
And yes. My camera and I fight all the time but eventually I'll win lol
@@Kpaceguy Yeah I see your point, but I think they wanted all of their subs to work with their app, and they couldn't do that with software. I agree if you were just getting 1 sub to get the 3000, but getting 2 is an extra $300, it might not seem like a lot but everybody got a budget(unfortunately, lol) I guess my point is for some people the bigger driver is not needed in their space and paying more is not worth it, I would rather spend that money on going to separates or getting a better receiver. In Svs mind, they probably just dont know if it is worth it to get that wow factor and get dual 18-inch woofers or something like that to have that wow factor as I said before its such a niche market and the profit margin would be too low to justify. Anyway tick for tack, they should have just gotten rid of the 1000 and 2000 line and just offer the new 2000pro and up, I just wish they would have kept that metal grill, or at least gave you an option to get the metal grill but I do appreciate your opinion and video keep up the great work!!

@@dayonerecoverdub3626 I have the same exact subwoofer and its awesome.

Agree went with HSU vtf-3HP regardless of shipping cost still a better deal and there is no free shipping it's added in the price.
What's underwhelming is your camera zoom function you got going on. I feel like I'm drunk watching this.
Checkout Audioholic review on the SVS 3000 series. The 2000 Pro doesn't even compare to the 3000s series. 3000s have the performance of a 15in driver for the cost and size. Based on testing the 3000s perform like the 4000s within the 30-40Hz range, but 4000s wins below 18Hz and who really listens that loud? Not to mention the 3000s have 14in driver coming in at 13 7/8 with rounding it's 14in. SVS rounded down for some odd reason 🤷♂️. If people are looking at the 2000 Pro just spend few more bucks on the 3000s. With that being said do not bypass the 3000s, because it has middle child syndrome.

People buy for diffrent reasons and purposes, room size, bass extension, tight bass ect. Sound is subjective, if someone likes the svs subs over other brands, because they like the output, sound characteristics and is of the size they want, they are not buying an inferior product are they. The inferior product to them would be the sub they didn't like as much. They have bought the best of what matters to them.

biggest difference for me between 2000 and 3000 is the pc2000..
